This recipe for gluten-free brownies with oat flour is oh-so chocolatey, fudgy, dense, and rich! If you are looking for the perfect complement to go with ice-cream this is your sinful indulgence. Warm up the brownie just a little so it melts the borders that touch the ice-cream just the right amount. Top it with fudge or with quick hardening chocolate shell and you will conquer anyone’s heart. The oat powder gives them a little extra fudgy gooey chewiness. If you want to go for gold sprinkle some oat powder around the serving plate and use a saucing spoon to decorate.
